x86/entry/32: Handle Entry from Kernel-Mode on Entry-Stack
It is possible that the kernel is entered from kernel-mode and on the entry-stack. The most common way this happens is when an exception is triggered while loading the user-space segment registers on the kernel-to-userspace exit path. The segment loading needs to be done after the entry-stack switch, because the stack-switch needs kernel %fs for per_cpu access. When this happens, make sure to leave the kernel with the entry-stack again, so that the interrupted code-path runs on the right stack when switching to the user-cr3. Detect this condition on kernel-entry by checking CS.RPL and %esp, and if it happens, copy over the complete content of the entry stack to the task-stack. This needs to be done because once the exception handler is entereed, the task might be scheduled out or even migrated to a different CPU, so this cannot rely on the entry-stack contents. Leave a marker in the stack-frame to detect this condition on the exit path. On the exit path the copy is reversed, copy all of the remaining task-stack back to the entry-stack and switch to it.
